the thing that has changed big time is most of the media companies are owned by straight up MAGA chuds doing outright propaganda. the NYT is one of the few that has old fashioned MSM brain bsky.app/profile/pope...

There is truly nothing you could do to make fun of the NYT covering the Obama Cheesecake Factory quip instead of Trump being accused of rape. It’s completely beyond parody.

I’ve already voted, but I have a lot of hope for next Tuesday.

Yes and also this sort of 'uniparty' nonsense feels so hollow deployed in the midst of a national stove-touching. It turns out the difference between a 'milquetoast corporate Democrat' and Trump was really big! President Harris would not be driving trans soldiers out of the military!

So he’s just giving up on being governor, huh?

Sometimes I have an intrusive thought hoping for The One Horrible Disaster to happen in the hopes it will snap people to their senses. This is stupid of me because if the pandemic and insurrection have taught us anything, it is that people do not learn from horrible disasters. People just die.

as a corollary to my other thread about how, yes, everyone is using LLMs for coding now: even putting aside ethical questions, this showcases the biggest downside - people are just throwing shit out the door while barely paying attention to what they've generated

I urge EU leaders to eat my ass.

holy fuck this is such a good response

yeah a lot of this debate boils down to this: "shut up, nerd, why are you making me think about this obnoxious nerd stuff, everyone already knows the real answer" the problem is that the track record of the people saying "shut up, nerd, we already know this" is, historically, pretttttttty bad

The main difference I’ve noticed between West Coast NIMBYs and East Coast NIMBYs is that the former will tell you that they’re worried about gentrification, overpopulation and out of control capitalism, and the latter will just say the thing.

Long Island right-NIMBYs are genuinely some of the worst people on earth. they’ll beg for a government handout in the form of NIMBY policies that artificially inflate the value of their homes, and then turn around and say that simply making it legal to build apartments is “charity” or something

look I don't always agree with the shadow on the cave wall but some of you are being really unreasonable in the meta discourse about last night's shadow

People like to clown on Lockheed but their executives don’t act like this.

This must be some of that wholesome posting @gruber.foo was talking about

Honestly I sorta wish more people on the left were pro ai, the future of rat fucking is ai.

the entire Trump administration makes sense when you realize the animating force is just state violence as content

Pretty much all of modern warfare is Weaponized Math. The artillery officer can end your existence with a protractor.

Hey I don’t think it’s a good thing that Bernie Sanders keeps talking to this guy

I have the same position on AI that I have on literally every other technology: It has no moral dimension of its own outside who controls it, right now it's overwhelmingly controlled by people who're evil to the degree they don't deserve to exist. That needs to be corrected. Until it is? 🤷‍♂️

impeach them all. fuck em. why should they get to fly around on our dime and hurt people? “they’ll never actually removed from office” who gives a shit? I want them miserable every day for the rest of the term. I hope they have nightmares. air their dirty laundry. make em sweat

Embrace 'they do not have enough goons' thought.

once again tapping the sign

Completely washed

I stand by this.

The idea that Nancy Pelosi supports the Iran War is an absurd, dangerous characterization. People like Ken think all of you are idiots.

you can’t root for a secret third team to win the superbowl

And again, winning is what he has to do in order to help us. Trans people and their allies couldn’t prevent Paxton from criminalizing being a trans kid + most of our health care + suing other states transphobically. *he needs to play this game to win*. I’m sorry, any other view is cope

We interviewed a jingling set of keys which raised questions about what credibility we have left.
